The reds are still chasing the loan services of Adam Hammill, and Simon Davey is hopeful of getting him for the coming season.

The Liverpool player worked wonders down the wing for us in the last third of the season. Scoring in the all important last game of the season at Plymouth, to secure Barnsley's safety.

Hammill was impressive at Oakwell, and quickly became a crowd favourite with his passionate and skilful displays, I see his signing as an integral part of any potential success this coming season. He is an excellent player, and would be nice to sign him permanently, but that is relying on Liverpool not thinking he would make the grade at Anfield.

Simon Davey is hoping to push through a deal for Liverpool winger Adam Hammill, and interest has ended for the four trialists who have been with the pre-season squad.

Hammill made a good impression at Oakwell during a three-month loan spell with us last season.

Liverpool have not yet handed a squad number to him and Davey has held talks over a possible move back to Oakwell.

"I'm still looking at a few players, discussions are ongoing," Davey told The Star .

"I've said that Hammill would be a good addition to our squad, but we're also on the look-out for a striker."

John Glele, Jurgen Csandl, Deogo and Anduela Prior have all been training with the Tykes in pre-season but Davey revealed they won't be joining the reds.

"John Glele is an excellent left-back. We felt that we had Rob Kozluk at the club and signing John would stand in the way of Luke Potter's development," Davey told Barnsley's official website .

"Jurgen Csandl is another good player but I didn't feel that we could get 15 or 20 games out of him in a Championship season.

"Deogo had all the right attributes but was not at the right fitness level to be tested at this level. We will monitor his progress.

"Anduela Prior came here with a good pedigree from Holland but if we were to sign him for the money they wanted then he would had to have been a regular in our starting XI.

"We didn't feel we could offer that with the likes of Martin Devaney and Jamal Campbell-Ryce in our squad as well."
